Something Of ilutter of excitement
pervades the leading machinists of
New-England because 1t Is known that
agents of the French Government are
hereabout buying mp machinery with
liberal, II not lavish, hand. And this
machinery is to be used In the manu-
facture of arms and ammunition. Thus
far four Of the England States
have been invaded, and the most
famous producers Of iron-working
machinery In the Eastern States Sc
renely contemplate the prospect Of
selling out. in short order, everything
which can be made subservient to the
manufacture of a weapon Of war.
! The French Government proposes to
establish another armory. capable Of
turning out, at first, at least 800 perfect
rifles day. 10 accomplish this, 1t is
stated that these envoys are ordering
all Of the available machinery now on

understood that the negotiations are
for immediate purchases, and not for

The Growth of Nebraska.

The Union Pacific Railroad was COM
pleted in May, 1869. Two years before
in l887-Nebraska was admitted to
the Union. She had then 10000 popu-
lation, occupying the sections adjacent
to the Missouri and chiefly south Of the
Platte. In 1880 the population Of the
State was 452, ,402. Settlement and agri-
culture had then become general and
prosperous over the eastern half Of the
State, and was beginning to subdue its
western half. Field culture had already
obtained a firm hold along and between
lines of railway as far west as the Tooth
meridian. In June, 1885, the popula-
ton Of Nebraska had increased to
740,645, or more than 60 per cent. In fiye
years. The increase in her great farm
products, the small grains, corn, hay,
cattle and hogs, was in proportionate
ratio. Agriculture, thickening In the
the central and eastern portions, was
steadily conquering westward. In 1885
homesteaders settling on the uplands
In the vicinity Of Sydney first broke
ground for farms in Cheyenne County.
The products of the first year were corn
yielding from 50 to 40 bushels per acre,
oats producing from 80 to 40 bushels,
| potatoes averaging from 100 to l50
bushels, and wheat yielding from IS to
20 bushels to the acre; there were other
varieties Of field and root crops, the
tame grasses, and trees Of equally en-
couraging growth. This on the l03d
meridian, but single degree east of
the meridian of Denver.

A talking bird that always says the
right thing In tho right place would be
o wonder, indeed. This is, of course,
too much to expect, for 1t would be
doing better than many human beings
do. The Schenectady, N. Y, Star
gives the following amusing instance
OF parrots impertinence:
"Children's Day was celebrated in the
Methodist church. which was hand
somely decorated with flowers, while
numerous canaries in cages, suspended
about the edifce, added their sweet
music TO the singing Of the children.
One lady, not having a canary, brought
!, an accomplished parrot. The parrot
: behaved quite well for time; but,
when q little boy Of his acquaintance
stood on tho platform and began a
recitation, the bird commenced TO mock
him. Finally 1t screechcd out, Hey,
you little devilir which had the effect
Of completely breaking up the youth
ful declaimer, and demorallzing the
4 congregation. The bird was led out Of
the church in disgrace" .e

THE ROMANTIC oYsIN.

Unknown and Unsuspccted by the ordi-
nary Traveller.
In spite Of the fact that in the opin-
ion of local chronicler, the literature
of the Oybin is the richest possessed
by any European mountain, save and
except Vesuvius," scarcely word has
been written upon this strange, roman
tic and weird spot by any English
writers.
1t is, like the fortresses of Bosig and
Bergstein, still unknown ground to
the ordinary traveller; and its wondrous
ruins, perched high in air, amidst the
wild fantastic rocks, rarely echo to the
sound of an English tongue. The life
led upon this pillared, forest height has
strangely alternated between horrid
deeds of devilry and religion. Robber
knight and monk have in turns held
possession of this stronghold; but now
Its ruins rise in picturesque strength.
half hidden by the solemn pines, and
shelter but the historian, or arch@olo-
gist or pleasure-loying traveller. t
The approach to the Oybin from the
main road leading out Of Zittau forms
a pleasant drive through villages that
have prosperity stamped on every line
ament. The little groups of we'll
dressed, well-shod children tramp in
lines of two-and-two to school, the boys
leading the way, and the girls following
with woolen headdresscs of every hue,
their faces bright and ruddy. and their
knapsacks at their backs. The houses
are well built and picturesque, with
dark timber beams, and nestle amid
Towering fruit trees and graceful way
ing birches upon slopes of rich pas
ture.
Factories of silk and cloth, and oil
mills, dot here and tlcse the landscape
and prove the fact that factory life
need not be passed amid hideous sur
roundings; the great lines Of fax
spread out on the broad green fields
seem also to add life and change to the
| scene.
